Playwright

A browser the AI can drive

Microsoft (Playwright) · Apache 2.0 · free

Microsoft's official Playwright MCP server: the AI opens pages, reads them, fills forms and clicks, using a real browser on your computer. The most-used MCP server there is. Every step goes through your approve step.

"Add to Your Own AI" opens the app with this ready to add (the app must be installed). Or in the app: Add-ons › Tools › Playwright › Add. Then give it to an AI under Tools.

What it needs

The app checks these for you and installs what it can with one click; the links are the manual route.

  • Node.js (npx runs the server) - install
  • The first run downloads the server package and a browser build; the AI's browsing shows as steps you approve.
